Product Overview
This nutraceutical is a combination of three essential vitamins that supports normal bone health in men and women. Together vitamin D3 and K2 are vital in producing osteocalcin, a protein secreted in bones that helps strengthen them. Vitamin A supports these two vitamins, as well as the immune system. This combination has been designed to help maintain normal bone density and strength.
Osteocalcin is a protein that assists with remodeling our bones by both reabsorbing older bone and laying down new healthy bone. Vitamin D3, the “sunshine vitamin,” is vital in producing osteocalcin. However, D3 needs help from vitamin K2, a cofactor that is essential to the bone strengthening process.[1] Vitamin A supports these two vitamins, as well as the immune system and a healthy heart.[2] When taken daily, Biote ADK 5 promotes the positive effects of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy and may help maintain normal bone strength. This combination includes vitamin A as retinyl palmitate, vitamin D3 as cholecalciferol, and vitamin K2 as menaquinone-7. Biote ADK 5 contains 5,000 IU of vitamin D3 per capsule.
